In an exclusive interview on Meet the Press, Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) talks to Chuck Todd about President Trump's tariff announcement, and reports that the House Intelligence Committee is leaking news from the Senate Committee.

Independent Senator Angus King (Maine) appeared on Meet the Press in an exclusive interview to talk about reports that the House Intelligence Committee has leaked information about the Senate Intelligence Committee's investigation.

Today is the day when many American politicians pretend to care about the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr, one of the wisest souls who attempted to save this sorry nation. While King did care about black and/or poor people in the United States and around the world, he was no American exceptionalist. “Don’t let anybody make you think God chose America as His divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world,” King once said.

CNN anchor Don Lemon was astounded that Donald Trump could in all seriousness pay homage to Martin Luther King Jr. a day after the president referred to Haiti and African nations as “shithole” countries.

King was a Baptist minister, activist, humanitarian, and civil rights leader who practiced peaceful, nonviolent civil disobedience to protest racial inequality. In 1964, King received the Nobel Peace Prize for combating racial inequality through nonviolent resistance.

President Donald Trump signed a proclamation honoring Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and civil rights work on Friday, just a day after reportedly making racist remarks toward Haiti and African countries.
